Organization Name: Maisha Project

About Maisha: It started with a girl who received a sponsorship for education at the age of 9 in a small village in Kenya. That girl is Beatrice Williamson, who founded Maisha so others might have the same opportunity for education and a “hand up.” Beatrice says “Through Maisha’s projects, I’m determined to break the vicious cycle of poverty to enhance the quality of life for every child we serve and empower them to transform their community. I want to see sustainable change that impacts future generations.”

Oklahoma City based non-profit Maisha Project’s mission is to transform lives and empower communities by providing lasting solutions to address poverty, hunger, disease and under-education.
